Nicki's Shady Moment  - So, first Nicki Minaj didn't know what award she was accepting (Viewer's Choice, Nicki, come on), but then during her speech it seemed like she came for Lil Kim saying, "I want to tell you to please make it your business to follow your dreams, because one day you will look around, and your dream will be gone and you will be mad at somebody. But be mad at your gat damn self!" Shade! (Photo: Christopher Polk/BET/Getty Images for BET)

Oh Baby! - Now we love to see Black love and families come together, but what didn't come together are Dominique L. Haddon and singer Deitrick Haddon's outfits on that carpet. So from here on, we'd like all couples to come dressed in matching patterns please. (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images for BET)

Where Is Mila Going? - Everyone, their momma, and the Lord knows Mila J is something sexy. So we didn't need this gown with those crazy splits to remind us -- less is more.  (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images for BET)

August and His Ankles - Now we're struggling to understand what poor August Alsina was thinking when he got dressed for this award show. Perhaps he knew Jazmine Sullivan and Bobby Valentino were going as superheroes and said every good superhero needs a supervillain.  Behold...Evil Ankle August!(Photo: Earl Gibson/BET/Getty Images for BET)

I Don't Love Lucy - Andra Day just missed the mark with this vintage 20's look she was hitting us with. The concept was cool, but the color scheme...the green polka dots with the black belt? Fail.(Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images for BET)

Elle and Her Bra Straps - We're not mad at Elle Varners' little patterned number with sheer elements, but why Lord, does she have her bra straps showing? Plus, her poses look as uncomfortable as those shoes probably were at the end of the night. You got to work it, Boo boo.  (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images for BET)

Old Man Flo - Flo Rida just looks like an old man in the club with this ensemble. He tried it, but sir, the club is not the place for the elderly.  (Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images for BET)

K. Michelle's Shady Moment - K. Michelle caught wind of some shade coming from Coko of SWV, who apparently agreed with her fans on Twitter who thought Coko would do a better tribute to Patti LaBelle than Tamar Braxton and K. Michelle’s rendition of LaBelle’s “If Only You Knew.”K. Michelle threw shade right back and came for her teeth saying, “Coko, but they didn’t ask you or your chopped teeth to perform. You're at home. Stop trying it. Love wins.” (Photos from left: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET, Rob Kim/FilmMagic)
